August is kinda like the Sunday of summer. Only now, we're not so sure the Yankees or the Rockies will be going back to work in September. Capturing confidence has been as difficult as capturing saves for closers this season, and after such a dominant first half, here we are talking about Aroldis Chapman and Greg Holland's misadventures for the 53rd time. To bring you up to speed, it happened again! Chapman allowed seven earned runs across seven games last week, so he's out in New York. As for Holland, well, he was dealt…

There are lies, damned lies, and statistics. So the calculator tells me Greg Holland and Jake McGee have combined for a 48.60 ERA over the last week. The toaster also tells me the Rockies could be lucky to make the Wild Card. What? That's normal ...? Anyway, that sure is a big crooked number in the Rockies clubhouse. Feels like only yesterday we were talking about Holland in the same sentence as Kenley Jansen. I now ask you to all join hands, because I'd like to reflect on what was a pretty awesome... um, half season.…

This will be the last installment of the mid-season dynasty rankings. I’ve saved the best for last, too. Yeah, right. Who am I kidding? Ranking relievers is more or less a crapshoot. You got your few elite options and then the rest is anyone’s guess. Over half of the relievers that were closers to start 2016 are either now in middle relief or retired. Below are the top 40 reliever options in dynasty leagues today. There are many guys you could debate here, and this list will probably change dramatically come spring time.…

Great times are waiting. Grab some Bud. Bud Norris gave up another four earned runs against the Blue Jays on Sunday. His total now sits at nine over the last seven days, so um, it's not so great if you grabbed some Bud. Perhaps the song "Who Can It Be Now" should play whenever Norris or Cam Bedrosian take the mound. These two are like the original Odd Couple, only you can't forget Mike Scioscia. The steam coming out of his ears makes for fab-u-lous television, but if you're a fantasy owner, relax! Thanks to baseball's…
